Amor y Amargo

This former sandwich-shop space was transformed into an old-school tasting room with wine-colored walls, dark damask wallpaper, and shelves lined with bartending paraphernalia and Bittermens bitters. For the bitters virgin, the bartender might suggest the Sharpie Mustache, with rye, whiskey, gin, and tiki bitters; for the seasoned vet, maybe a sling of Second Sip, a dizzying concoction of scotch, homemade sweet vermouth, port, fernet, and bitters. Watching the pros work their magic while zesting citrus peels or mixing drinks in glasses you might find at a soda fountain is part of the fun. Watching the pros work their magic zesting citrus peels and mixing drinks in glasses you might find at a soda fountain is part of the fun. The bar seats eight, with five at the back rail, so get there early to snag a stool.
